This is a great time to sow biennial seeds

Garden tip: Now is the time of year to sow seed of biennials. Biennials are plants that take two years to bloom. The first year they put out leaves and the second year they will produce beautiful blooms. Sow sweet William, cleome, foxglove, canterbury bells, hollhock and money seed. The plants usually seed themselves and you can have plants to share. This is a great thing. Use a great soil to start your seed. Be sure to watch for mold or wet off soil.

• Happy birthday to: Alison Washington on July 3; Eloise Sloan, Candace Blackmon, Donna Washington on July 5; and Julius Mayfield (my cousin), Jordan Blackmon (His parents are Jamie and Greg Blackmon), Terri Alcorn and Irene Daniels on July 7. Hope all have a great birthday and a great year.

• Happy birthday greetings to: Guen Bruckel on July 9; Homer Blackmon on July 10; Amos Winnett on July 13; and Joycee Cole on July 7. Hope all have a great day and year.

• Continue to pray for Rispa Green, Dee Sloan, Matthew Thomas, Essie Mae Lowe, Erskine James, Burlie James, Edith Doss, Chuck Graben, Nick Hancock, Orine Jones and all that are sick. May God be with you all.

• We need to pray for our troops that are in harms’ way and for the election that will be coming up.
